Not a great fan of either. But Tyson a much better fighter and champion. Tyson does what Corrie Sanders did. Early and bruatal.
Tyson never knocked out anyone with Wlad's ratio of size, power and skill. It's not a foregone conclusion that he wins. In a trilogy, I'd say Tyson wins the first fight, Wlad does better in the rematch and dominates the 3rd fight.
Wlad wouldn't underestimate Tyson like he underestimated Sanders. And not being a 6'4 southpaw, his hands would have a much longer way to Wlad's chin.
Of course he wouldn't underestimate Tyson. Wlads chin is just not upto dealing with the hard combinations at high speed that Tyson is going to land. I know Klitschko is a very good fighter but he is not on the same level as a 'Prime' Mike Tyson. Thats my opinion and I have seen most of their fights and followed their careers. Tyson wins and by KO.

Is this some kind of a joke? He won all of those fights except the one against Lewis and McBride where he was CLEARLY past his prime. And most of those guys had something Wlad doesn't.... A CHIN.
